OFFICIAL FOOD TESTS.

The Ohio State Food Commission
Test the Baking Powders. An
aIysis Of the Chief Brands Sold
i'm the Southwest. Their
Strength and Value OFF,
Cially Ascertained. A
Large Number
Impure.
The Ohio State Dairy and Food Com
missioner, Gen. :. ii. Hurst, has made
public (CirCular No. g the results Of the
Commissions investigation OF baking
powder. This Commission was formed
by the Legislature, with instruction TO
make an examination of the food supply
Of the State, and TO give Il report Of such
examination TO the public. The exam
inAtiOn OF the baking powders was made
by Professor II. A. Weber, State Chem
isl, and, relating ne 1t does to an article
Of daily u-C in the food Of almost every
one is OF particular interest.
The rather startling fact is brought
out by the report that Of the thirty dif-
iureut brands Of baking powder anal
yZea. Composing about all those sold in
The stale, twenty OF them are made from
alum, q substance declared by the nigh
est medical authorities 10 be injurious 10
Lrailh when USED in food.
The com missioner Claesllles the baking
powders into three general dIyi5iOns,
according to their value:
lst. Cream Of Tartar Baking Pow
ders.
2nd. Phosphate Baking Powders.
3rd Alum Baking Powders.
The object OF baking powders Is,
when mixed IN the flour und subjected
to moisture, generate Il leavening gas
in the dough, which will raise the bread
and cause it to be porous and light.
The commissioner explains that the
best baking powder is that which. the
ingredients being heaIthiul. gives OIL the
largest amount of leRVening gas and
leaves the smallest amount OF resiuuum
In the bread. a small amount OF CRrbO-
nate Of ammonia, which is considered
healthiul, is used in some OF the cream of
tartar powders to give them higher
strength. The commission say that
pure alum is undoubtedly n hurtfuI salt,
and that the resultant salts from Its
combination with soda as formed in the
breed, can scarcely be less hurtful.
Il report ranks the powders aud
81 8 the amount in each OF inert re-
a.. ITS, which is using it would appear
as residuum 10 the bread as follows:

The Republican candidates to be NOM
mated this year for the Legislature
should be exceptionally good men. There
is a demand for this throughout the
county that must be heeded,if we would
avoid the risk of defeat. The people
demand good, solid, broad men-nen of
experience in affairs, and observers of
events and of men. Republicans should
see that such men are brought forward,
and not compel the nominating conven-
tion to make choice among those who
assert their claims to the place. Sever
all weeks elapse before the meeting of
the convention. and there is ample time
for comparison of views, and to bring
forward good material.

PROFESSOR B. F. THOMAS, managing
director of the Ohio Weather Bureau,
has received notice from the Chief Sig
nal Officer at Washington, d. C, that the
general weather service proposes to tel
egraph morning indications to fifty
points within the State, provided that
each point receiving the indications dis
play flags giving the weather and tenn.
perature as indicated. In this connec-
tion. also, warnings will be given of the
approach of cold waves and other phe
nomena dangerous to the general public.
Prof. Thomas desires persons over the
State wanting the indications telegraph
ed to them to notify him at once. so that
the service may commence the work as
soon as possible and perfect the system
before the winter weather sets In. The
indications are intended to benefit places
beyond the reach of the Associated
Press, but within the reach of the West
ern Union system.

AMONG the gems in the platform of
the late Democratic State convention is
the following. "We demand the fullest
safeguards for the ballot-box, the pun
ishment of all who seek to corrupt il, ,etc."
The resolutions of Democratic con-
vention generally glow with morality.
Words are cheap. professions cost noth'
ing, and clap-trsp sentiment soothes the
Democratic conscience. A few years
ago, when the negroes of the South were
flying for their lives; when the nightly
march of the kuklux was marked by
blazing cabins, mutilated men and wom-
en-, the shrieks extorted by the lash. and
he groans of the dying, the Democrat
ic national convention passed resolu-
tions strongly in favor of protecting
the rights of the citizens, and the free
dom of the ballot-box.'
In view Of the late canvas of john
Mclean for Senator of the United
States, the wholesale Democratic frauds
upon the ballot-box in Cincinnati, the
corrupt return Of fourteen Democratic
members to the 9th General Assembly
in order to rob the people of their choice
of United States Senator, this resolu-
ton of the State Democratic convention
in favor of a pure ballot is positively
disgusting In Its hypocrisy.
The BoodIeites who passed this reso-
luton realize that It was q blind, "a farce
wicked, false pretense, designed to
cheat and deceive. They knew if they
were taken at their word, and safe
guards" were really thrown around the
ballot box, that Democracy would be
buried out of sig hit at the first national
election. They knew that in such case
the Democratic majority in Congress
would vanish as the dew before the
morning sun. But these men realized
that as Democracy hourishes by fraud.
deceit, and violence. it was necessary to
throw out some moral protest against
it, that sounds we'll and does nothing
more. The Democratic party is like the
Italian bandit who always repeated the
Lords Prayer before he murdered his
victim. He said it relieved his own
conscience, lulled the victim Oftentimes
into security, and did not at all affect
the aim Of his pistol.
We denounce this resolution as heart.
less and insulting. The Democratic
party is not in favor of any safeguards
for the ballot-box. 1t is not in favor of
an honest ballot and a fair count. 1t
lives as party by corrupting the bal
lot-box, destroying the rights of thous-
ands of voters, and the moment the
citizens of the United States are per-
mitted fair and free ballot, that mo-
ment Democracy will be swept from
power as with whirlwind.-CleY Lead

The Gazette asserts that the bridge at
Alledonia "Was contracted for 130 feet.
The Gazette is mistaken, or has been
misinformed. The bridge named was
built exactly as contracted. No change
whatever was made in it. The editor
must have been thinking about the court
house. A few slight changes were made
by his political friends In that after the
lettings.
The alleged mistake In the Gulch Run
bridge was made by the contractor "bat>
ting" the walls about nine inches, and
was trifling matter, for which he alone
was responsible. Commissioner Potts
made a mistake of seoe'a feet In his meas
urement of the Steinersville bridge, and
his mistake cost the county about $500.
Nothing was said about it; il. fact Mr..
Potts was considered (and was) good
Commissioner, but be was human.
We repeat: In the making of contracts
and the management of work, Commis>
sioner Berry has never had superior in
that office. The editor of the Gazette
has evidently been consulting contract
ors who have been thwarted in their
schemes of plumber by the vigilance of
Mr.. Berry.

THE CHRONICLE called attention to
the fact that the Mayer had assessed
upon each of three young men arrested
for violating the law $2O5 more costs
than the law authorized. This the Ga
zette thinks is abusive of the Mayor, land
altogether wrong.
The law does not make any exceptions
in favor Of Mayors or County Auditors
or Clerks. When the former assesses
and collects unlawful costs, or the Aud
itor draws warrants upon the treasury
for money he is not entitled to. or the
Clerk holds unclaimed costs that should
be in the county treasury, he is more
hsgrant violator of the law than the
man who gets drunk and howls through
the streets at night.
1t is high time this thing of assessing
unlawful costs upon people who are so
unfortunate as to get into the tolls of
the law was at an end; and the officer
who does it, no matter who he Is. nor
how high his social position, should be
held up to public scorn.
